A Survey from “Go To Hell” Harry
Our Congress At Work
I just got another one of those opinion surveys from the Office of Harry Reid, Majority Leader of the House. You know the ones. They are thinly disguised pleas for money. Every time I get one of these surveys or emails from Congress Critters begging for my hard earned cash it just pisses me off. What the hell is wrong with these people? We pay them a good salary, $169,300 for senators and representatives. The Speaker earns more, $212,100. Plus we provide them with the best health care plan available. Something many of us don’t have. Yet they continue to ask for more.
So, here we are, in the middle of a Depression the result of poor legislating on the part of our Congress. Businesses across the country are laying off workers and our hired help in Washington bickers and procrastinates while their employers, us, suffer the consequences of their stupidity and greed. We pay these goons too much. They should be making minimum wage for the lousy jobs they are doing. We should cancel their health insurance while we’re at it. You know, share the pain.
Don’t these people make enough off the bribery they collect from all those Washington lobbyist? Are they blind? They are certainly out of touch with the real world. They are more than willing to spend our every last dime to bail out their cronies and special interests, but refuse to do anything to ease the pain of the work force. You know, the “fundamentals” of our economy. Well the “fundamentals” are getting pretty fed up with the whole mess that is Washington. Quit begging for more, go to work and stay the hell out of my wallet.
Beside “Go To Hell” Harry I’m not even a Democrat. I’m a Libertarian. I guess you’re just an equal opportunity panhandler.
